ruzymommy: Got a reply from you so know you got the message now.

Comment by ruzymommy(Ship2/Div937) on July 13, 2012 at 12:02pm: diannep-can you message me the date for BS for 937 also? thanks!

Comment by diannep on July 13, 2012 at 10:44am: cherylhubb: Just messaged you the date I have for that division.

Comment by cherylhubb on July 13, 2012 at 10:26am: Good morning to all! I got 2 letters yest. as well. 1 was addressed 2 me & the other was addressed 2 my youngest son. He's 9. He was so happy his older brother had written him personally. He ran off w/it so quickly & said "i'm putting this up in a special place". My son went to church on Sunday & said it was great. He said he cried so much but was happy. He's not much on crying but he has already told me that he will be balling his eyes out when he sees us. Let's just hope I can hold it together. He said the division is workin together great. They r making so much progress. He's also excited about playing @ the graduations today & nxt wk. He wants me 2 bring him some Oreo's & Fruit By the Foot so bad. Made me laugh & now I know he's still my little baby boy.LOL. He's still so happy I write him everyday. He said he's got ALOT but he loves each & every 1 of them. He's alo so happy about being able 2 write more & says he'll miss sleep just as I have just 2 write me bk. I couldn't be a more proud mother. It's sounding like I did a pretty good job w/this 1. Thank goodness he didn't turn out like me @ that age (I was 16 when I had him).LoL.

My son mentioned 1 mom took a picture of his Facebook page & sent it 2 him & he asked that I do the same so he could see what all I've been posting about him. I'm said nope..not going to happen. You will just have to find out when your done. Payback for some of the pranks he's been pulling in my letters. He knows how to get me crying so he made sure to add in a few special things.

I'm patiently waiting on my ribbon order 2 come in as well. It lets me know I'll get 2 c him so much sooner than I want 2 think about.

Does anyone know when they're Battle Station day is for 937? If so please inbox it to me. I've asked but not sure when & if he's received my letter yet.

Comment by Loriemae - AD Rating - PIR 7/27 on July 13, 2012 at 10:20am: Good morning ladies,
Got a letter yesterday...oh how I love mail.
My SR is doing well. He is glad Hell Week is over. He was put in LLD (limited light duty) the day of Live Weapons Fire. He had a bad cough. He was so looking forward to shooting so he was bummed. He said since it was medical it wont affect PIR...he's looking at the big picture...im so proud of the attitude he has...I know how much live fire meant to him. I think bc is having the right impact on my SR.

However, I know the kid I raised is still there...he closed his letter with a special request for me to bring certain homemade goodies ....warms a mothers heart. :) Our kids will always be our kids at heart <3

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 13, 2012 at 9:05am: Thanks so much for the ribbon order Wendy :-)

ruzymommy- I can just imagine how that "baby division" must loot to them. I bet it is super encouraging to see how far they have come in such a short time. It soulns like she is super excited for PIR and is doing very well. Such a great letter!!!
